After a long time not posting I’m glad to be sharing with all of you again some recipes.
Summer is become a little busy, funny right, thats why is bean like a month without recipes here, but have no fear, we are back and ready for more delicious and exited recipes.
Now today I want to share this delicious raisin coconut bread the I made for my friend Faye at the The Leftovers Club.
Is delicious and perfect to take on a road trip, picnic or BBQ, is great with coffee, tea or any kind of drink.
It had two of my favorite flavors, lemon and coconut, of course the raisins are not bad at all but you know me, I love coconut.
I know is a little hot to bake in the summer, but this bread is to good not to make.
Enjoy and I hope you like it.
